Since 1928 millions of people have come to Hollywood Boulevard to celebrate the
entertainment capital of the world in the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. This
star-studded event provides the best in family entertainment and is one of the only
places fans are guaranteed to see their favorite stars.

Marching bands experience their own dose of star treatment in the parade's telecast
zone when they march down the biggest red carpet in the world. Bands are a highlight
of the parade that also includes celebrities, floats and giant character balloons.

The parade travels through the Heart of Hollywood, beginning on Hollywood Boulevard
at Orange. The U-shaped route travels east to Vine, south on Vine to Sunset Boulevard
and west on Sunset, back to Orange.

The Hollywood Christmas Parade will premiere nationally on The CW prior to being
shown on local television stations throughout December. Broadcast outlets include KTLA, Armed Forces Network and Hallmark Drama Channel.

The Hollywood Christmas Parade is a legendary event filled with history. The event
was originally called the Santa Claus Lane Parade. When 1946 Grand Marshal Gene Autry
heard children chanting "Here comes Santa Claus," it inspired him to co-write the
classic song "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)." Celebrities that
have served as Grand Marshals over the years include Bob Hope, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Charlton Heston, Sammy Davis Jr., Roy Rogers, William Shatner and Mickey Mouse. The 2019 parade featured
Mario Lopez as grand marshal.
